Manufacturer: Toaplan, 1991
Description:
Under the spell of the evil Magician Jagula, who plots to conquer
the world, Lucia, the goddess of light, is confined by the gates of
the Netherworld. A dark age is ushered in and evil spirits from
mountains and rivers roam throughout the world.
Deeply affected by the horror of the world, King Gitane of the Akura
Empire summons two burly and brave men from the Eastern Country and
orders them to subdue Jagula.
These 2 heroes journey through the evil spirits' lair which is cut
off from the exclusive pious area. Freely manipulating their magic
balls, Axis and Bilious plung into action.
